• Make a Wish (2003)

  by zacharythax May 25, 2012
  I enjoyed this every non-exploitative exploitation film. Very low budget matter-of-fact slasher made a cut above by having most of the characters be lesbians and its interesting location. An older woman invites all her former girlfriends on a camping trip where they argue, get lost, drink, make out,...

• Beyond the Black Rainbow

  by zacharythax May 25, 2012
  Don't miss! Debut from director Panos Cosmatos may remind you of a David Cronenberg student film if he collaborated with David Lynch and is far and away of the best surreal, mind bending piece since 'Eraserhead.' Barry, a psychiatrist of questionable motives (who resembles young David Cronenberg !?)...

• Strippers vs. Werewolves

  by zacharythax May 25, 2012
  A U.K. strip club blows up in 1984. Present day a stripper in a Catholic schoolgirl outfit with pigtails and glasses dances starts a gang war by stabbing a werewolf through the eye. This comic book adaptation tries hard to stay interesting, but suffers from too much really awful disco music and the ...

• Rarities Obscurities and Hen's Teeth

  by zacharythax October 28, 2009
  I heard about a Detroit band called THE UP who a record store clerk in Kutztown, PA said were as good as the Stooges. I finally tracked down KILLER UP. Great sound, inept playing but with a slight bit of the savagery at bay. FRANCOIS HARDY was "The 'Yeah Yeah' Girl of Paris" who released albums of c...

• THE WIZARD OF GORE (2007)

  by zacharythax October 26, 2009
   Why remake Herschell Gordon Lewis' inspired reality-bending inept masterpiece? Because with a little bit more of a budget and the influence of Videodrome and Philip K. Dick (and maybe William Burroughs) they actually made a movie that makes its own kind of sense and actually hangs together a lot be...

• Charles Band's Desperation Road Show

  by zacharythax October 16, 2009
  Charles Band's Full Moon Road Show--stand-up comedy for horror fans. After a mind numbing montage of film clips to some heavy metal music, the man of the hour came out for an engaging, informal, off-the-cuff talk about making low budget gore and monsters. We saw her boobies! Although a rabid horro...

• Return of the BLOG

  by zacharythax October 6, 2009
  Just found a Holy Grail album for me for download on Amazon from 60's folk ingénue FRANCOIS HARDY. I read about it in the great must have book UNKNOWN HEROES OF ROCK 'N ROLL where it said that the former IT girl of Paris recorded an Iggy-like hard rockin' album at the age of 50 (!?) I'm listening to...

• FOUR FRIGHTENED PEOPLE (1934)

  by zacharythax September 9, 2009
  The real reason to see this jungle exotica classic is Claudette Colbert's transformation from  a prim and proper geography teacher in glasses to a sexy a jungle girl in a leopard print bikini(!?) (the timid teacher attempts to dry out some guy's shoes by a fire and ends up burning them up. He get's ...

• Just Some Thoughts as I Have Much Less Time on My Hands

  by zacharythax June 20, 2009
  I got called back to work, so the vast ocean of free time has shrunken into a puddle. Anyone interested in a real movie mag like PSYCHOTRONIC VIDEO in PDF format please contact me to let me know of your interest. If enough people want it I'll put out a monthly (or as often as I can) mag which you c...

• O Lucky Man! (Warner, 73)

  by zacharythax June 11, 2009
  D/P/A: Lindsay Anderson, S: David Sherwin, P/A: Michael Medwin, M: Alan Price If you've seen Clockwork Orange enough to get the subtle touches of humor all the way through it then you'll probably enjoy this. I've read a lot of reviews but none that convinced me the reviewer actually saw the movie. M...
